The formal composition of the BCTCS Organising Committee was instituted in the Constitution of the BCTCS as adopted in its present form at BCTCS14 (1998).
Prior to this, however, an elected organising committee of Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, additional members (together with past, current, and future Local organisers) had been in effect since BCTCS5 (1989), and formally agreed at BCTCS8 (1992). The post of Postgraduate Student representative was created at BCTCS11 (1995). The title `President' replaced that of `Chairman' following the adoption of the BCTCS Constitution at BCTCS13 (1997).
